Disband NASA. Either give it something useful to do or shut it down. NASA has no reason to continue.

Last time NASA messed with gravity by landing men on the moon, it messed up the weather down here.

P.S. I'm kidding.

Whoopee! An anti gravity spaceship powered by cold fusion!

NASA does and/or helps fund plenty of basic research in many different fields. Some are more pragmatic than others. The point here is to develop the mesuring devices needed for super conductivity/unified field theory work. There is a long way to go here, but if it proves useful in the end, we all profit. Major economic expansions are fueled by cultural wide industrial paradigmn shifts. To find technologies that will broadly affect our culture, much research, some in seemingly silly areas, needs be done. The NASA technology transfer to industry program provides for quick trun around application of new technologies for American business thus creating a test bed for potential new paradigmn technologies.

It was at least the second time the agency has tried but failed to replicate Podkletnov’s results.

I hate to say I told you so, but...no, scratch that. I have no problem with saying I told you so. I told you so!

The researchers say a device that loosens the clutch of gravity, sometimes called a gravity shield, may be the only way to enable human spacecraft to blast off to other star systems.

You have to be careful with this. Remember when they first exposed the Cavorite and it sucked the atmosphere out into space. It's nothing to toy with.

Anti-gravity!

Democrats perfected that years ago with taxes. Nothing can hold them down.

Sorry Folks but I think NASA's Controversial Gravity Shield Experiment is worth the research even if it fails. 2 Reason, first something else might come out of the research in another area of science and second there is some evidence in vibration ruction technology where wave neutralize each other at 180 degrees has had some results of neutralization.
